alienation
Alienation, I suppose, can't be hackneyed because it will always exist.
people comedian fork-in-the-road
Every comedian comes to a fork in the road where they have to decide if they're going to make jokes about other people or make jokes about themselves. I chose myself.
clever giving people
There are so many people who are clever. There are 8000 people at Princeton who are more clever than the three of us at this table. BUT, we have the ability to give something that they don't have...which is us.
divorce rejection feels
I feel that marriage can lead to the ultimate rejection and failure and divorce and things we all fear.
thinking talking fans
Sometimes when my fans come up to me, they think it's going to be entertaining, like I'm going to tell jokes or do bits, and then instead of that I end up talking about really mundane things with my fans, and then they're kind of like, "This is boring. I want to go talk to somebody else." I think I bore my fans to death by over-talking to them.
thinking white guy
I think the reason why I'm so alluring to networks is because on the surface I'm like a quintessential relatable, boring white guy. A great many sitcoms have been anchored by a boring white guy, so I feel like what they want to mine from me are my more generic qualities.
giving first-impression firsts
I just don't give off a great first impression.
funny humor soul
I don't drink a lot. My family calls me an old soul. And my friends call me a pussy.
funny humor men
I read recently that women still make 30% less than men in the workplace. Which I think is fine, cause if we didn't make 30% more, you guys would marry each other.
style genuine born
I've read that Steven Wright's style was born out of genuine nervousness,
comedy reluctant one-thing
The one thing you're most reluctant to tell. That's where the comedy is.
past thinking comedian
I think Mitch Hedberg is one of the great comedians of the past 20 years.
ideas people creepy
Creepy people do the things that decent people want to do, but have decided are not a great idea.
funny strong humor
Bears are simultaneously so graceful and so strong. Bears know who they are, but they often don’t know who you are, which is why they kill you.
